The formation of ferrite and iron carbide will start at the austenite grain boundaries and the final pearlite microstructure will have lamella of ferrite and cementite. This is illustrated on the ...

For example, the same principles apply to the formation of cementite from austenite, but it is not difficult to distinguish ferrite from cementite morphologically. As a result of a survey of the ...

Changing the carbon content of the alloy changes the microstructure of the pearlite and hence ... this material phases through the two-phase zone (yellow) between austenite and ferrite. In cooling ...

(a) Small austenite grain size leading to plates of ferrite growing ... It is believed that propagating cleavage cracks are frequently deflected as they cross an acicular ferrite microstructure with ...
